E3-3 Targets Related to Water

[MDR-T.81b-i] OMV has not yet established an ESRS-aligned target for the material topic E3 Water. However, the Company has already started working toward setting a water-related target. We have been reporting on freshwater withdrawal since 2021 and our ambition is to reduce freshwater withdrawal and minimize the impact of water use, particularly in water-scarce areas. This commitment is outlined in our Code of Conduct, Environmental Management Standard, and OMV Group HSSE Strategy. We track the effectiveness of our efforts by measuring the year-on-year reduction of freshwater withdrawal within our operations, without using a specific base year.
